Swedes had a lot better 2nd period. One power play was awesome---they must have pinned the Russians in their end for the whole two minutes and then held it in for another 2 with the Russians taking another penalty. Askarov was under siege but what he sees he stops. Holtz scored the only goal of the period from a rebound from behind the net of his own shot. This Costmar for the Swedes is quite the agitator.

It's a really good game but I'm really tired and going to bed.

USA just needs to take care of business tomorrow. Win the group and play Slovakia. Just don't finish 3rd in the group.
 
Carolina has made it really hard for me to not like them with their recent draft picks.

I really like Carolina... I just hate that their window and everything is going to be directly in contention with ours. Svech, Aho, Slavin, Necas, eventually Bokk, Gunler, Rees are guys I like in particular. Plus always liked J. Staal the best.

I'd be pretty disappointed if they didn't win tomorrow.

Sweden isn't a walk in the park by any means, but they just played tonight and honestly have been less than impressive.

For sure. I mean there isn't any travel and all these kids recover quickly but after an emotional game I would think the US should have an advantage over them. Plus their d got beat a lot by the speed of Russia. Hopefully Berard takes it to the net around Broberg :sarcasm:

Don't forget Jarvis but At least they didn't find a way to draft Askarov. They are gonna need to sacrifice something to get their goalie in the future one would think
 


Going back and watching all of last year's USA games, I can't help but come away more impressed with Zac Jones than Miller. I know this isn't exactly news, but the former is just a lot more polished and heady at the position. Obviously Miller was not in a very good situation in Wisconsin developmentally, and it isn't like he gained any much-needed experience this year. The tools are tantalizing, but he needs a lot more time to cook before he's anywhere close to where we need him to be.

Also, Laf was jaw-dropping incredible in the second and third period of this game.

Dollars to donuts Miller is on the 21-22 team. And he may see time this year. He's not as far as some here seem to think.
 
Big game Canada and Finland today. Hopefully Schneider is in the top-six though I fear he won't be.
